Hunger Games Breaks a Record on Midnight


The Hunger Games made a record breaking $19.75 million in midnight sales on Thursday night, making it the highest grossing non sequel opening ever. Now, we have estimates for the rest of opening weekend.
"…the Friday gargantuan opening box office for Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games is ranging from a low of $60M to a high of $75M today from 4,137 North American theaters. That number includes the record-setting $19.75M midnight grosses. For the 3-day weekend overall domestic blockbuster number, my insiders are predicting a low of $135M to a high near $150M."
That sounds pretty amazing! With these estimates, it will be close to Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1, which made $71.6 million Friday, $138.1 on weekend.
